Plans to build a space radar station could allow US President Donald Trump to dominate space from Wales, campaigners have said.

More than 15,000 people have signed an online petition opposing Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to build 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire.

Jim Scott, a spokesman for the People Against Radar Campaign (PARC), said “provoking China” by supporting US military aims “where there is no rational imperative to do so” would be a bad idea.

The UK government said Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) was vital to track objects in deep space and protect satellite and communication and navigation networks.
